StabiliTrak activates when the
system senses a discrepancy
between the intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure at any one
of the vehicle's brakes to help steer
the vehicle in the direction which
you are steering.
If cruise control is being used and
traction control or StabiliTrak begins
to limit wheel spin, cruise control will
disengage. Cruise control may be
turned back on when road
conditions allow.
Both systems come on
automatically when the vehicle is
started and begins to move. The
systems may be heard or felt while
they are operating or while
performing diagnostic checks. This
is normal and does not mean there
is a problem with the vehicle.
It is recommended to leave both
systems on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn TCS off if the vehicle gets
stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow.
See If the Vehicle Is Stuck on
page 9-8 and Turning the Systems
Off and On later in this section.
The indicator light for both systems
is in the instrument cluster. This
light will:
Flash when TCS is limiting
wheel spin.
Flash when StabiliTrak is
activated.
Turn on and stay on when either
system is not working.
If either system fails to turn on or to
activate, a message displays in the
Driver Information Center (DIC), and
comes on and stays on to
indicate that the system is inactive
and is not assisting the driver in

maintaining control. The vehicle is
safe to drive, but driving should be
adjusted accordingly.
If comes on and stays on:

2. Turn the engine off and wait
15 seconds.
3. Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle. If comes on
and stays on, the vehicle may need
more time to diagnose the problem.
If the condition persists, see your
dealer.
